Having problems getting results with Search.
Ok, so this has been happening for a little while, and to start with I thought nothing of it, but its getting rather annoying. Everytime I search something, it comes up with nothing. I tried searching for one of the names of a thread I posted (Modding scratch2exe) and it results in: 
Occasionaly I like to see what topics are talking about C++, and I used to get results for this, but I've not got anything for sometime now. Is this a common problem? (Have I missed something involving this?)

Re: Having problems getting results with Search.
I get one result for the Modding scratch2exe search. That's this topic. There is nothing on C++. Weird.

I've been encountering something like that, too. Perhaps the Scratch Team changed something in the search function?
I've noticed that the search is only valid for letters (and maybe numbers, I have to check later), but not symbols. Perhaps the search is not picking up on the + symbol in "C++".

That might be why...

Re: Having problems getting results with Search.
This type of thing happens to me too... and on the TBG as well. Strangely, on Chris's account it worked fine there... and the topic we were searching for wasn't in the Dustbin.
